Chateau de Montfort Vouvray 2005 Wine Review (Number 7 in Flight- NW)

Tasting notes:

Melon and peach on the noseCrisp, but only semi-dry on the palateDry finish with a touch of sweet fruit

Vouvray is made from Chenin Blanc. While there are a variety of styles, many of them deliver a nice mix of crisp acidity and slightly sweet fruit. This wine is no exception, with an overall nice balance to it. The price was $12.

I didn't guess this to be a Vouvray. Instead, I somehow thought it was a dry Riesling from Germany.
